The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A portrait of a person with their eyes closed, half buried in dense dark green foliage with small orange berries, leaves crossing in front of the face. Lit by a single soft source from the upper left so nine tenths of the frame falls to near black, deep desaturated colour, no highlights beyond the skin and two or three leaves. Utterly still, painterly in the manner of a Dutch still life, shot on medium format.
